Hi all, I'm new here but have been reading the odd post for a while. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar to this and can offer any insight. My olds have recently got Vodafone rural broadband and the speed appears to be really good when it's working (30+ Mbps up and down, can't really complain), haven't seen any issues streaming Netflix etc. The problem is that they are getting frequent dropouts where the modem is reporting no signal (see below) and takes between 2 and 10 minutes to re-connect. Rebooting the modem seems to speed this process up but it's a real pain, it can happen repeatedly when trying to get something done.I don't really understand why the reception reads full when it goes and gets good speeds (and it goes most of the time) but then jumps straight to no signal, there is no in-between. It doesn't seem to drop out while in constant use (streaming etc), more of a problem when browsing, it falls over between loading discrete pages.Any thoughts?

Most of the problems with speed are likely to be related to internal wiring issues. Read this discussion to find out more about this. Your ISP is not intentionally slowing you down today (unless you are on a managed plan). Also if this is the school holidays it's likely you will notice slower than usual speed due to more users online.

A master splitter is required for VDSL2 and in most cases will improve speeds on DSL connections. Regular disconnections can be a monitored alarm or a set top box trying to connect. If there's an alarm connected to your line even if you don't have an alarm contract it may still try to connect so it's worth checking.

Well it hasn't dropped out on me but the speed has dropped right off, the first shot is from a week or two ago, second is just now after changing that setting. I haven't noticed the modem ever connected in LTE mode, it always says 3G so would this just be it connecting to a different tower (perhaps temporarily)?
